Queens Campus to Hold Emergency Response
Exercise
St. John’s University’s Department of Public Safety and the New
York City Fire Department will be conducting an emergency response
exercise at the University’s Queens campus on Saturday, August 1,
2009 between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. The exercise will simulate a fire
and chemical spill in St. Albert Hall.
The Office of Emergency Management, the New York City Police and
Fire Departments, Emergency Medical Services and St. John’s
Department of Public Safety are participating in the exercise as
first responders. You may see these groups and their vehicles near
St. Albert Hall.
Before the exercise begins, Public Safety will post signs, both
inside and outside St. Albert Hall, informing the University
community of the exercise. Public Safety will then ask anyone
remaining in St. Albert Hall to evacuate the building for the
duration of the exercise.
During the exercise, you will still be able to reach Public Safety
and report incidents at the Queens campus by phoning ext. 5252 on
campus or (718) 990-5252 if you are off campus.
